How often should the battery of the Ford Kuga be replaced?
1 Answers
The frequency of battery replacement depends on the actual usage by the owner. Some owners can use the battery for a long time, while others may need to replace it more frequently. Here is some relevant information about the battery: 1. Introduction: A battery, also known as an accumulator, is a type of cell that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to battery is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: The negative electrode is made of a lead plate filled with sponge-like lead, and the positive electrode is made of a lead plate filled with lead dioxide, with a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When discharging, the metal lead acts as the negative electrode, undergoing an oxidation reaction and being oxidized into lead sulfate, while lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing a reduction reaction and being reduced into lead sulfate. When charging with direct current, lead and lead dioxide are generated at the two electrodes, respectively. After removing the power source, it returns to the pre-discharge state, forming a chemical cell. The lead-acid battery is a rechargeable and dischargeable battery, known as a secondary battery.
